The Royal Castle in Poznan

One of the largest castles in Poland, it was largely destroyed during the Second World War but has since been partly rebuilt. Construction of the castle was probably started by Przemysl I in 1249 on hill later called Gora Zamkowa , and now better known as Gora Przemyslawa (Hill of Przemysl or Przemyslaw). The first building was a habitable tower made of bricks with a whell inside, and the rest of the hill was surrounded by a rampart with a palisade. A small ducal residence was incorporated into the system of city walls in the late 13th century.

The Imperial Castle

It was constructed in 1910 by Franz Schwechten for William II, German Emperor, with significant input from William himself. Since its completion, the building has housed government offices of Germany and Poland. The location of the castle was not accidental. After the deconstruction of the polygonal part of the Stronghold Poznan, was transformed to a residential city. On the new lands, Prussian authorities - who acquired the city in the Second Partition of Poland in 1793 - decided to build a new Germanic heart of city, known as the "Imperial District". The projects of the new districts were prepared by Joseph Stubben.
